Im 3 weeks out and my staples were removed at two weeks, I still have a lil soreness at the drainage spot, I still wear a bandage, until it closes completely, right now it's about an inch deep.

It takes time. Rest heal sip walk and rest again. Leave the lifting to someone else. Hang in there!

Staples? Mine was laparoscopic . I thought they only do it that way now.

Mines was laparoscopic, but my incision site has staples.

With laparscopic ... After the laser cuts the area inside its sealed with mini staples creating a seamless seal. Then after the wounds are removed and the surgery is over most surgeons use staples to close the 3 to 5 openings in your tummy that were made.

How far out are you? Don't be afraid to use your pain meds. I was on them for almost a month.

I am 8 days out .

Take some pain meds, just the minimal dose. I had a big hematoma undergone of my incisions which caused a Ton of pain up til a few days ago

I am 3 1/2 weeks out.... I was laparoscopic and I didn't have any staples... Just terry strips over my incisions, and a couple stitches where the bigger incision was. I'm pain free now, I can even sleep on my stomach again :) still not 100% get a little tired easier than before. But since I've added actual food back to my diet I feel sooo much better!!!!
